Thanks To Accyweb ....
 
So glad i joined this site. Was browsing through some old posts last night especially the one about Rhyddings Park. A s i read through i noticed one member "ossygobbin" had a link to his web site with old photos of Oswaldtwistle and residents of Ossy.
As i was happily browsing the 900 + intresting photos a picture of my grandad suddenly appeared before me. I was amazed and delved a little more. Suddenly more pictures of my family were popping up, including my mum and dad. Boy did i giggle at them !
To cut a long story short, a picture of my grandmother that i had never seen before popped up. She was so beautiful in her youth. It was the first time i had seen a picture of my grandma since she passed away when i was 8 years old. It brought a few tears, but also a lovely warm feeling too.

If it wasnt for accyweb, i would never have seen the pictures ...thankyou.

....and thanks to Cousin Mike "ossygobbin" for hosting them.


So happy !

It is a great site, and Mike's a great guy always on the lookout for new pics.

My Gramps is on there too. I thought at first you were going to discover we are long lost cousins!

Worth a look even if you ain't a Gobbiner. :)

That must have been lovely coming across those old photos. I can see why you were so moved.

It's a sign of too much alcohol as well.
Taken internally or spilt over the keyboard it often has the same effect!

My keyboard should be ashamed of itself. It's far too young to be drinking alcohol.
